Fifteen Week Weigh-in
Oh look, it’s Monday again, time to wrassle the scale into submission and gauge my progress so far. As of this morning, I (still) weigh 159, which is a -2.6 pound loss for the week and puts me -48.8 pounds down in 15 weeks. Perhaps I celebrated one-fiddy-nine a little too much, because my body has held steady at that weight since Thursday. Not that I’m not thrilled to be in the 150s, I’m just ready to see the next lower number, please. Of course, I know I’ve been terribly spoiled by such steady losses and I have no right to complain at all. And I’m not complaining — I’m just urging and cajoling more fat to leave my body. I’m like the “Fat Whisperer”, I’m going to remain calm and assertive and demonstrate that I am the leader of this pack of fat. I make the rules and I’m in charge. And I’m only going to reward behavior I approve of: like seeing 158-anything on the scale. 
Hang in there, it’s just been a few days, it can’t count as a plateau unless NEXT Monday it’s still 159 (and I doubt it will be!).
I wanted to let you know that your awesome (well, almost scary) page of exercise has been a real inspiration for me to get moving and do some real sweat-inducing exercise. Among all the things I was thinking about, seeing your exercise list on the page on your blog has to be one of the biggest motivators for me right now. (Not that I’m going into competition with you, hell no, but still - thought you’d like to hear that your hard work is inspiring one of the sedentary persuasion).
Fat Whisperer!!! LOLOLOLOL
Don’t despair, Josephine - that scale will cooperate soon enough. It can’t compete with your exercise, believe me….
Could you do some fat whispering to my fat please? It seems to think I’m super rad and wants to stick around.
